The report examines the current state of generative artificial intelligence in the Kingdom, and also identifies the best practices and expertise in various fields of competence, and provides the "kingdom AIQ framework" as a reference to assess the maturity and readiness of government agencies and Saudi institutions to adopt and deploy generative artificial intelligence technologies effectively, taking advantage of Oliver Wyman's extensive experience.
In January 2024," Sadaya " launched the guidelines document for the use of generative artificial intelligence tools (principles of generative artificial intelligence) aimed at government agencies, the private sector and individuals, in order to spread awareness about the uses of multiple generative artificial intelligence technologies in various walks of life.
